	April 4, 2022 at 10:26 AM	Approved	Diversity in Medicine Roundtable Discussion	SOMA	04/04/2022	04/20/2022	After our monthly meeting, SOMA would like to host a roundtable discussion with SNMA and APAMSA clubs. This event will include questions created by our Diversity Chair, Rucha, in order to promote discussion about the problems in medicine regarding diversity. This topic is very important to us as an advocacy group, and we take pride in knowing that we can make a difference in the lives of future patients who may face adversity. Without going into hospitals extensively yet, we have not been able to experience the diversity we will experience when we are practicing. SOMA Is hoping that this roundtable discussion will welcome conversations and open discussion about diversity and how we as future physicians can better promote this in our fields. We aim to do this in a nonjudgemental safe space. The SOMA monthly meeting will conclude at 7:00 or earlier, and then this roundtable discussion will take place. Participants will be encouraged to follow COVID safety protocols, and all unvaccinated individuals will be required to wear a mask. Attendance will be taken at this event with a Google Form submitted prior by each participant.
	April 3, 2022 at 2:40 PM	Cancelled	National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food Drive	Class of 2025	04/03/2022	05/14/2022	The Second Harvest Food Bank of Erie reached out and wanted volunteers for their National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food drive that is going to take place on May 14th, 2022. This will be the 30th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive where postmen pick up food from all over the city. People usually set out their donations the morning of the event near their mailbox and front door. The Food Bank is looking for volunteers between the hours of 10am-7pm to help with the drive. They’re also looking for some volunteers to be stationed at donation drop off sites located throughout Erie and would assist with loading a semi-truck with incoming donations. I know that COVID restrictions are easing up, but masks will be enforced with unvaccinated individuals, and other precautions will be taken to make sure students can be COVID safe. I know a lot of students really want to be more involved in the community and I think this would be a great idea for students to help the local Erie community and work together with different individuals.

	March 30, 2022 at 4:09 PM	Rejected	Ukraine Strong	Womens Health Club	03/30/2022	04/30/2022	This will be our third event of the semester. In an effort to support the people of Ukraine, the WHC e-board members will lead a workout for LECOM students at the Wellness Center parking lot on Saturday, April 30th at 11am. The event will be advertised as "Ukraine Strong". WHC board members will coordinate a body-pump exercise circuit to music, and lead participants through the workout for 45 minutes. Each participant will be asked to donate $10, and all proceeds will be given to 'Doctor's Without Boarders' in LECOM's name. This organization provides medical relief and responds quickly to crises around the globe, currently including Ukraine, Haiti, and Yemen. Although they cannot earmark donations for a specific location, we can choose to earmark ours for "Emergency Relief", helping those in dire need. A spreadsheet will be sent to the student body to 'sign up' for the event so we account for how many people will be attending. Money will be collected via cash on the day of the event. We think this will be a great way for WHC to bring together the LECOM community for a healthy study break and to support the health of women and children around the globe.

	March 23, 2022 at 12:10 PM	Rejected	Weight Stigma and Mental Health	Mental Health Task Force	03/23/2022	04/13/2021	This will be a MHTF-guided discussion on the impact of weight stigma on mental health and health outcomes. We will discuss how weight stigma in medicine has affected our relationship with medical practitioners and could affect our future patients. Using examples from medical and public health literature, we’ll examine our view of obesity as an epidemic and as a measure of mortality risk, and how that has influenced medical perspectives on weight. We will also discuss the genetic and socioeconomic components of weight, and how those might be barriers to thinness. Finally, we will also brainstorm together how we, as future physicians, can help address weight stigma in our practice, such as asking permission to discuss weight and trusting patients to know their own bodies. Those who participate actively will get a $10 gift card, as this event will be in lieu of the monthly breakfast.

	March 14, 2022 at 11:04 AM	Approved	Fighting the Opioid Epidemic	SOMA	03/14/2022	04/28/2022	Idea: SOMA will be hosting a talk by Dr. Richard Morgan, DO who is currently a clinical faculty instructor at the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, NY. This will be a virtual event through Zoom from 6-7PM EST in which Dr. Morgan will share his experience navigating addiction in the past and his path of recovery. He will share how to understand the signs and symptoms of addiction in health care professionals, and he will make us more aware of the ongoing opioid epidemic. Why: One of the pillars of SOMA’s overdose prevention task force is harm reduction. Harm reduction is a public health tactic that is used to reduce the consequences of drug misuse and overdose. Dr. Morgan will identify these consequences as they relate to opioid use, and how we, as medical students, can take action to fight the growing opioid epidemic in the United States. It will also allow students to ask any questions that they may have regarding this issue.

We will also discuss the genetic and socioeconomic components of weight, and how those might be barriers to thinness. Finally, we will also brainstorm together how we, as future physicians, can help address fatphobia in our practice and make patients more comfortable, such as asking permission to discuss weight and trusting patients to know their own bodies.

	March 11, 2022 at 11:51 AM	Approved	Neuroanatomy Review Sessions	SOMA	03/11/2022	03/25/2022	As we have done with Gross Anatomy and MMS review nights, SOMA would like to start hosting review nights for Neuroanatomy. Basic neuroscience is notoriously one of the most difficult classes in medical school, and our Eboard feels it would be extremely beneficial to start hosting review sessions. These sessions will be over Zoom starting whenever the event is approved. We will have a sign up sheet for MS1 and MS2 Students to sign up to make review Powerpoints for basic neuroanatomy in exchange for community service hours. Making the presentations will be available to SSP and SOMA members, and the review nights will only be open to SOMA students. We hope this will bridge the gap that MS1's have had with transitioning into more difficult content and systems.
